    摘要: A memory subsystem is disclosed comprising at least one memory module, the memory module having a substrate to which a plurality of memory chips is mounted and a voltage regulator, the voltage regulator receiving a power supply signal from a system power supply and outputting two or more power signals, each power signal providing a different, regulated voltage, which regulated voltages are each routed to each of the memory chips; and a redundant voltage regulator external to and not mounted on the memory module and configured to output two or more power signals, providing external different, regulated voltages which are the same voltages as the voltages output by the voltage regulator on the memory module, and supplying the two or more signals to the memory module.

    摘要: A method and/or system for checking the bus/interface between a host and a memory system during memory access operations includes a memory system having one or more of the data memory devices and a spare memory device; providing a bus/interface between a host and the memory system; selecting information on a per memory device basis to associate with a spare memory device; disassociating the selected information from the one or more data memory devices and associating the selected information with the spare memory device; adding Cyclical Redundancy Check (CRC) code to the one or more data memory devices from which the selected information was disassociated; transferring the CRC code and information over the bus and interface between the host and the memory system; and checking the bus interface with the CRC code added to the one or more data memory devices.

    摘要: Performing error correction in computer memory including receiving a read request targeting a read address within the computer memory; accessing a mark table comprising a plurality of entries, each entry including a field specifying a region size, a field specifying a match address, and a field specifying a mark location; performing a lookup of the mark table using the read address including, for each entry in the mark table: generating a mask based on the region size stored in the entry; determining, based on the mask, whether the read address is within a memory region specified by the match address and region size stored in the entry; and if the read address is within the memory region specified by the match address and region size stored in the entry, performing error correction using the mark location stored in the entry.
